Study summary

The main objective of this study is to compare subject adherence and satisfaction for two modes of treatment toenails infection (Onychomycosis) with Loceryl Nail Lacquer (Loceryl NL) and a Fungal Nail Treatment Set containing Urea 40% ointment (Urea) and Bifonazole cream 1% (Bifonazole).

Read the detailed description

A total of 20 subjects are to be included in 1 site in Iceland

Methodology:

Subjects will receive following treatments on the right or left toenails:

  • Loceryl Nail Lacquer (Loceryl NL) to be applied once weekly for 7 weeks on all affected toenails of one foot (including great toenail)
  • Fungal Nail Treatment Set to be used on all affected toenails (including great toenail) of the opposite foot in two phases:

    • Phase I: Urea ointment (Urea) to be applied once a day under occlusion for 2-3 weeks depending on the achievement of optimal diseased toenail plates removal
    • Phase II: Bifonazole cream to (Bifonazole) be applied for 4 weeks on affected toenails (after the maximum 3-week treatment period with Urea ointment)

  • Subjects with less than 50% of the toenail surface area from the Distal edge with disease involvement and without matrix involvement, no dermatophytoma, streaks (spikes) or subungual hyperkeratosis > 2mm,
  • Subjects should have the same number of affected toenails on both feet or no more than one additional affected toenail on one of the feet,
  • Subjects with positive mycological results (direct microscopy and culture) of the most affected toenail (or great toenail) for dermatophytes or yeast (including Candida) at Baseline

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with matrix involvement on the great toenails,
  • Subjects with a surgical, medical condition or clinically important abnormal physical findings which might interfere with the interpretation of the objectives of the study
  • Post-traumatic toenail, lichen planus, eczema, psoriasis, or other abnormalities of the nail unit, which could affect/influence the subject's compliance with the investigational products or mask the effects of treatment (cure),

Interventions

  • DrugLoceryl Nail Lacquer

    Topical over entire toenail plates of affected toenails once weekly in the evening (at bed time) after having filled down affected toenails to gently remove as much as affected nails and having cleaned toenails surfaces with the provided cleansing swab

    Also known as: Loceryl NL

  • DrugUrea Ointment

    Topical over the infected part of the toenails only once daily under occlusion in the evening (at bed time) after having soaked toenails in warm water and having removed the soften infected toenail plates and dried the toenails

    Also known as: Urea

  • DrugBifonazole Cream
